Open letter to Ionside


Open letter to Ionside

Postby James » Nov 1, 2001 @ 7:33pm

Ionside,<br><br>I have followed the discussions of your real-time strategy game with great interest. As an avid StarCraft player, this type of game is extremely appealing and I eagerly await its release. In the mean time, if I can be of any help, I stand ready to be of service without charge. I understand that I am not developing this game nor am I a part of its spawning company and, therefore, do not have a clue as to what is involved. Rather than insult you with my free advice on running your company, I will instead offer you my best wishes as a pocket pc user and future developer.<br><br>Good Luck,<br><br>James

An open paragraph sounded even lamer so I went with letter. <br><br>Just wanted to give the guys something positive rather than bitching about THEIR game. I had another version with links to my favorite porn sites to cheer 'em up.<br><br>James

Ya there is alot of bitching about the intrest level lately, but the truth is when it comes out everyone will be intrested again. So dont listen to the negattive comments, just have some fun and learn what you need to about the industry it will help in the long run. Trust me from the looks of this game buiseness skills will probably helpfull in the future ;).

Well, I must say the comments and questions being posed are pretty much repetitive. So, I still think this forum should be locked until the game is released. Nothing new is being discussed. New people come along and bitch about the same thing and use the same reasons etc etc etc. Somehow we must stop this feckless slandering of Argentum and let them take care of their own business--for better or for worse.

Well, it's very likely that an important announcement may be made next week. Hopefully it will be a very positive announcement. So let's not close this forum just yet.<br>

Another supportive note:<br>Argentum is going to rock. As a fellow developer, I've exchanged lots of code, ideas, betas and so on with Carp. He's cool to work with. And his game totally rocks. But he has some though nuts to crack. :)<br>Don't underestimate the efforts involved in releasing a game. It's a MASSIVE amount of work, and it can often be frustrating. And some of the posts on this forum don't make it easier; for the Nutcracker I regularly gathered shoulder taps to be able to proceed. Carp needs those too, especially since I think his situation is thougher than mine was before the release.<br><br>So be nice to him. And he will give you the ultimate joyride. Trust me.

I think all (or most, at lest) of PM regulars know that, and will stand by him. The problem are visitors.
